This session focuses on mind, body, emotional, and interpersonal connection. McKenzie begins by introducing session members to the music which will be the focal point of the session. This is a piece of classical music which carries a theme of musically representing art. After discussing the concept of the piece, session members are introduced to available art materials and given the prompt to create art based on what they hear in the music.

The musical piece that the session focuses on is approximately 30 minutes in length and will be played in its entirety. Session members are guided to reflect their experience with the music through their art as they listen. This can include any emotions, physical sensations, or memories that are experienced in addition to the imagery that is experienced throughout the listening process. Once the musical piece is completed, McKenzie leads session members in a group discussion reflecting on their experiences with the music and art.

During the reflection process, session members are never asked to share more than they feel comfortable with. Creating and sharing art can be a tender subject for many people. Creating a space where individuals feel safe and comfortable is McKenzie’s top priority with this experience.
